I found this picture on the internet doing a google search under motion graphics. It really caught my eye out of all the rest because it really gives a great sense of motion. We can see a person standing still with his hands open, pretending to either throw our catch the pieces of paper. They seem to be floating above his hands and cannot tell if they are falling into his hands or away. It really gives a great perspective of motion in a still image way. When we look at the picture our brain immediately thinks that the pieces of paper are moving in some direction, but no matter how long we look at it, they never move, creating an amazing visual affect.
This picture is relevant both to San Francisco and to our major, hence why I chose it. This I found under motion photography which mainly uses the blur affect to show an exaggerated motion affect increasing speed when in reality, it is all going the same speed. This picture shows the famous cable car zooming down the tracks downtown, but I know from experience that these cars do not zoom at all. Actually quite the opposite. They are very slow and stop at every other block and could take a while to get to where you need to go. I think the juxtaposition between the slow moving vehicle and the fast moving background really shows the effects of motion.
